One example that I’ve been meaning to post is how to get Image Metadata using the Exchangeable Image File Format or EXIF a using ColdFusion 8.

It’s actually quite simple, to get a list of all the EXIF tags simply use the ImageGetExifMetaData function.

Here’s a quick example:

<cfimage action="read" source="#ExpandPath("lobster.jpg")#" name="img">

<cfset exif = ImageGetEXIFMetaData(img)>

<cfdump var=”#exif#”>

Here’s a screen shot of a CFDUMP of the EXIF Image Metadata.
